About Me

I have been married for 7 years to my wonderful husband. I am a pre k teacher and have been teaching for 10 years! I am a christian and try to follow God's path in all that I do!
Brandon and I tried to concieve since February of 2007. Since July of 2008 we saw a RE to help along the process. In January of 2010 we were blessed with a beautiful daughter! We are now on roller coaster again trying to conceive number 2!!

My Favorite Quotes!!

"The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the now, the most precious thing there is. Life is NOW." Eckhart Tolle"There are only 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though EVERYTHING is a miracle!"

I saw this on a baby shirt while looking at "Cafe Press.com". People can design their own stuff and cafe press sells it and you get a profit...people do it to help fund their IVF's. I thought the shirt was cute. They also had one that said "My mom and dad spent my whole college fund MAKING me". Thought ya'll might need a laugh...all we can do is laugh right:)
